About Us
Message from our president:
It is an honor and a privilege to be serving as 2020-2021
President of the Institute of Heating and Air Conditioning Industries, Inc. (IHACI). It is critically important that HVAC professionals remain united and committed to IHACI. Being a member of IHACI is an absolute necessity if we are to remain competitive and address the issues that directly impact us, such as the State of California’s goals to transform our industry.
NEW Executive Director for IHACI
Carlos brings a vast knowledge of the HVAC industry and education training from a long career with SoCal Gas that spanned nearly 44 years.
